McRainy reacted to Andicis in Depression, anxiety, stress and other related issues
My issue is with anxiety, and it's a bit of a weird one.
About a year ago, I was ill, it was just a generic cold. However, after this I had noticed that one of my lymph nodes in my neck had become inflamed. The age demographic I'm in (20-24) Lymphoma is a relatively common type of cancer to contract, and this really triggered anxiety for me. I committed the cardinal sin of googling, and ever since I've gone through phases of compulsively believing I'm suffering from several different types of cancer. I'm not. This health anxiety has wound up with me feeling some real symptoms of it, and has had a real detriment to my energy levels and overall well being.
The thing is, deep down I KNOW I'm exaggerating and nothing is wrong with me. However, I just can't shake the feeling. I can get myself worked up over it, even when I know I'm being ridiculous. In fact, I'm even slightly apprehensive with posting this.
On a separate note, this really is an excellent thread. I'm really glad people feel comfortable to share things on this forum, and I wish you all the best, don't suffer in silence!

Totally random songs that get stuck in your brain for no reason.
Why have I been humming "Wombling Merry Christmas" to myself all afternoon?

Maybe it’ll be a blessing in disguise.
If you’re still having panic attacks at work I’d say you’re not well enough to be there, or at least, that work situation is still not conducive to your well being. Nothing is more important than your health, and continued exposure to high stress levels is not going to make things better.
Could redundancy be the opportunity to take time out and rethink what you really want to be doing?

Anyone been to the Beer Festival? I went before and after the game on Wednesday and then again last night.
It was great - some lovely beers but my anus is broken

This year was the first year I've never received a Valentine;s Day card.
Every year since I can remember I've had a card from a secret admirer, but not this year
I feel awful - first my Nan dies and then this...
